Anybody have problem with TCS running 18/19 wheels? I've been trying to do a search on these but cant find a definite answer. Thanks for your help!
 
Ive got 18/19 SSR GT'3 and comptech lowering springs and Ive never had a problem with my TCS system. Come to think about; I dont remember the last time I had a problem with the car!!! NSX- the only affordable exotic!!

Thans for the info....got the wheels ordered already..cant wait!

Regards,

Henry

Do a search on '18/19' and see what shows up. Many of us are running 18/19 with zero problems. It's all about the difference in diameter between front and rear, not the actual sizes of the rims.
More specifically, TCS depends on the outer diameter of the tires, not the wheels. So it depends on what size tires you decide to use, not the wheels themselves.

For example, if you get the most frequently used tire sizes with 18"/19" wheels on an NSX - which are 215/35-18 front and 275/30-19 rear - TCS will work fine, on all years NSX. But if you change the outer diameter from that - for example, if you put a larger tire like a 225/40-18 in the front - then you could run into problems with the TCS.
 
Only if you run higher profile tire than 35 infront as in my case. TCS lights up when I accelerate. I remedy the problem by switching the TCS off. Will try to get 35 series when they are available. :)
